Blood or Wedding ring for example will work, a piece of clothing or hair will not. The Storyteller makes the final ruling on wither or not the item in question will work. Finally, you must actually curse your victim. He must hear the curse said aloud or the power has no effect. He need not understand what you are saying, but he must hear it.

    • Other Realms: It is possible for a Koldun to extend their senses into other realms with difficultly. In order to extend their senses into the Umbra, Shadowlands, or Astral Realm the Koldun must spent an additional willpower a and make a static Social test vs. 4 traits plus double the level of the power they wish to activate. A failure has no effect apart from wasting willpower. A Koldun may only view 1 additional realm in this manner.
    • W.O.S. Omniscence: Way of Spirit Does not allow you to process all the information you are gaining in it’s radius of effect. Rather if functions similar to google earth. Meaning you must focus in on one specific area to be able to see everything go on and effect it.
